Using %CPDBCOPY in IT Resource Management 2.7 to copy a an older version
PDB into a SAS 9 PDB may fail with the following error messages:

   ERROR: DATA Step View xxx.xxx could not be processed. There is no
          source code stored with this view.

   ERROR: File xxx.xxx.xxx has not been saved because copy could not be
          completed.

Due to the variety and complexity of changes (generation/storage/usage)
that were made to views during the lifetime of Version 8 of the SAS
System, a specific release level that defines an "older PDB" has not
been determined.

To circumvent this problem, follow the steps below:

   1.  Make a backup of the CPDBCOPY member located in your
       prefix.AUTOLIB library.

   2.  Locate the following source in CPDBCOPY:

           PROC COPY IN=&cprefix.&level OUT=T&level
           %if &cpfeng=6 and &cpteng=7 %then %do;
               MEMTYPE=(CATALOG DATA ACCESS)
               %end;
           %else %do;
               MEMTYPE=ALL
               %end;
               ; RUN;

  3.  Change this code (above) to the following:

           PROC COPY IN=&cprefix.&level OUT=T&level
               MEMTYPE=(CATALOG DATA ACCESS)
               ; RUN;


A fix for this problem is being considered for a future software release.
